If process sharing is in place, setting the Backlog Iteration via Web UI requires to break process inheritance of a lot of se

In order to set the Backlog Iteration via Web UI, we need to break process inheritance for following sections of the process configuration:
- workItemProgressMode
- workResourcesSpecification
- topLevelPlanWorkItemBinding
- attributes
- workItemTypes
- enumerations
- planConfigurationElement

If we do the same in the Eclipse Client, we only need to break inheritance of following sections:
- workItemProgressMode


Workarounds:
1. Define Backlog iteration in Eclipse Client
or
2. Set "Final" flag for following sections (disables project-specific process customizations):
- workItemProgressMode
- workResourcesSpecification
- topLevelPlanWorkItemBinding
- attributes
- workItemTypes
- enumerations


Fix (from IBM):
Implement the same Process Overwrite granularity in Web UI as we have in Eclipse UI
